Hi Fellow DXers, I'm working on a history project about shortwave listeners who monitored Axis broadcasts for POW messages, then wrote to the families of POW's to alert them of their loved ones' fate. Interestingly enough, the federal government and military were none too happy about this practice. The National Archives records of the Foreign Broadcast Intelligence Service and Office of War Information contain correspondence with the major radio clubs at the time. Would anyone have any leads on obtaining club newsletters and publications from World War 2?
I'm particularly interested in these: Victory Radio Club, Newark News Radio Club, Universal Radio DX Club, and National Radio Club. I used to belong to the NRC but let my subscription lapse. Thanks and 73, Dave Hochfelder Albany, NY -- David Hochfelder Assistant Professor Associate Director, Public History Program Department of History Social Science 119 University at Albany, SUNY Albany, NY 12222 518-442-5348 _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: [email protected]
